Sprouting Health & Wellness

About Sprouting Health & Wellness

What is Sprouting Health & Wellness?

Sprouting Health & Wellness is a primary care practice that blends naturopathic and conventional medicine. It has offices in Gresham and Beaverton, Oregon, and most of its primary care is offered as direct primary care, where patients pay a monthly membership instead of billing insurance for routine visits. Two physicians are named as prescribers. Dr. Verenis Estrada completed a 4-year medical program at the National University of Natural Medicine and graduated with a Master of Science in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine. Dr. Sierra Goncharoff is a naturopathic physician who graduated from the same university and completed a 2-year residency there.

Its listed services are Women's Health, Total GI Health, nutrient injections, IV vitamin therapy, and testosterone. For women's health, it says: "We offer hormone balancing, hormone replacement therapy, PAPs, pelvic floor therapy, colposcopy, and more." Testosterone is offered by injection, pellet, cream or gel, or nasal spray. The clinic does not name a medical weight loss or GLP-1 medication, and it does not describe peptide or longevity programs. Telehealth visits are offered. Google lists it as a medical clinic with a 4.2 rating from 5 reviews.

This listing is for its Gresham office at 1300 NE Linden Ave Suite 6.

What does it cost?

It does not publish a membership fee, a consultation fee, or prices for testosterone or other hormone care. The only dollar figure for new patients is $100 off the initial consult, which is a coupon, so the full consultation price is not known. The membership is described as a low monthly fee, but no amount is given, and it does not say whether medication is included. Labs and imaging fall outside the membership and are billed at member pricing that is not listed. The initial testosterone labs are described as included in the initial consultation fee, and additional labs cost extra. Members get 15% off supplements and products.

The clinic gives two answers on insurance. Its primary care section lists accepted plans, including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Moda Health, United Health, Providence, Health Net, CHP (Kaiser Permanente), and several Health Group plans. Its testosterone section says insurance is not accepted for that treatment, but it provides itemized receipts for HSA or FSA reimbursement.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which physician would manage your testosterone and what credential that physician holds, since no credential abbreviation is published for either prescriber. Ask whether the monthly membership includes any medication or bills it separately, and whether the testosterone is brand-name or compounded. Ask what the consultation costs before the $100 coupon, and what follow-up visits and repeat labs cost. Ask whether telehealth visits are billed the same way as office visits. Ask which insurance applies to your care, given the two answers above. Ask how the membership is cancelled and whether billing continues afterward. Confirm office hours before you go, since they are listed differently in different places.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want an ongoing primary care relationship with a practice that combines naturopathic and conventional medicine, and you are ready to pay a monthly membership plus out-of-pocket labs and treatment costs. It is a weaker match if you need published prices or a clinic that names its medications up front, since neither is shown.
